IN FAITH I COME

Many years ago I received the above title for my third book. At the time, I had no idea what it was to be about. When I sat to begin a meditation and allow something to come to me, I was directed to find a definition of faith. The one that I found to be the best for me was, “Complete acceptance of a Truth which cannot be demonstrated or proved by logical thought.”

I asked myself: Is that how I live? Do I really accept what is, or do I try to control results, circumstances or any aspect of life? Of course I do. I can’t deny it. I often make plans and sometimes I unhappily watch them fall apart.

With all of the messages I have received and the many visions I’ve had over the years I think that I should be one of the most faithful people I know. Sometimes I may appear as if I walk in faith, but how much of that is true? I don’t know.

Recently I was diagnosed with a physical condition that has altered the course of my current plans including a vacation. At first I was upset, but later realized how fortunate I was to find the problem and to treat it. I wondered if delaying the trip would be much better in the bigger picture that I can’t yet see.

My intention is to go with the flow and accept what is. Tomorrow will come, and I will be open to its revelations. It is in faith I come to acceptance of all that is transpiring.

And so it is…

The path to God is not the worldly path, but you are in the world. This path then can be followed by focusing on the Higher Teachings of Trust, Faith and Love in all things worldly. It is a demonstration of faith, and in this Faith you come to God.

THE "QUOTE"

“You don’t have to be miserable before you feel you deserve to be truly happy.”
Sarah Ban Breathnach

When I first read this quote, I passed over it quickly. It, however, kept tugging at my heart until I turned back the pages and allowed the emotions to arise in me. I suppose I really didn’t want to read it again because there is a part of me that does not believe that I could be truly happy.

Yes, there was a time that I didn’t like myself very much. Although I appeared to the world as otherwise, I had a much deeper feeling about myself and my life. I felt strongly that I had not accomplished enough.

Is that really the truth? Of course not. It is the seed of depression rising up and telling me how much my life didn’t matter. Perhaps you’ve had that experience too.

I do believe I’ve chosen this path to learn more about the meaning of life. To write what I feel and to be as truthful as possible is important, because it allows me to see and to learn so much more about what controls my thoughts and actions. It gives me a clue how my thoughts can control me. They can either lift me up or pull me down.

I also know that it’s important for all of us to watch our thoughts. I encourage you to do so. Like me, you may be surprised and become motivated to know more about you…a loving child of a Great Creator.

Living in Me my child, you are a great creator. Your rivers of light are interlaced with another and another until the web of light shines brightly. Voices of angels sing to you each day as your love, strength, and hope and forgiveness flow. One prayer touches many lives. Many are blessed. Vested in truth, the light of your heart connects with others creating Rivers of Light, eternally dancing and flowing while lifting the world’s vibration to create peace in the hearts of all.

As God created light so shall you. As you remember your place in the flow of life and your purpose of light, your journey becomes a mission to bring light to the world. As a great creator you become My shining star, forever in the eternal light and living in the vibration of peace.

An Exquisite Experience

One day while watching television, I heard a man describe his two-year battle with cancer. I also heard a woman say that she had been battling depression for years. Although it seemed as if they had beaten the odds, there was something about them that I sensed was still immersed in the battle. It occurred to me that battling anything for me feels so harsh. My constitution just doesn’t like the feeling that arises, and I don’t want to do battle with anything.

Although I understand the desperation that comes from an unexpected or long term illness such as my own, once I began passing through the anger and all of the other emotions that occur with loss of control, I learned that I have a choice.

Sometimes one finds a distorted sense of happiness living in misery. The misery then takes over and it becomes one’s life. But that sense of happiness is not what I seek. I want to be happy from the inside out and from the outside in. I want to nurture me in this life as I would a newborn baby. From that place new life can emerge, and in that emergence another level of healing flows. As I allow that exquisite experience, I reveal my true Self.

Trials that hold you back are patterns of the mind. They emerge from the dark thoughts and create much discomfort and pain. They are also teachers, but they do not promote evolution unless you recognize them for what they are. These are the dark places within that you must visit to stir the pot of despair and lift them to the Light. This promotes great growth and allows transformation to Self-discovery.

Embrace all life experiences as vehicles of growth. Though painful sometimes, if you allow them to come into the Light they will transform into your greatest teachers. Be mindful of your trials. Face them with faith, for I am always with you. Bless them and you will live in peace.
